NOTE,  y,  J 


SDUCi 
UfiRARV 


This  little  book  is,  as  its  title  states,  the  first  division  of 
Ahn's  Rudiments  of  the  German  Language,  issued  sepa- 
rately, for  reasons  of  economy  and  convenience.  Ahn's  First 
German  Book  teaches,  in  its  first  part,  Heading,  Writing 
and  Spelling:  it  deals  exhaustively  with  the  letters  of  the 
alphabet,  not  only  singly,  but  in  every  possible  position  and 
combination;  the  German  words  so  used  being  such  only  as 
have  a  definite  meaning.  Closely  based  upon  this  part  of  the 
book,  are  Ahn's  German  Reading  Charts,  which  will  be  found 
of  great  service  in  class  instruction.  By  the  use  of  these 
Charts  a  whole  class  can  be  simultaneously  taught  with  the 
same  ease  as  a  single  pupil. 

The  second  part  introduces  the  learner  to  the  easiest  pos 
sible  forms  of  Oral  and  Written  Translation,  so  as  to 
prepare  him  for  whatever  difficulties  he  may  subsequently  have 
to  encounter. 

Special  regard  has  been  had  to  familiarizing  the  pupil  with 
the  correct  and  fluent  use  of  German  Script. 

The  First  German  Book  is  intended  for  the  two  lowest 
grades  of  pupils  in  the  Public  Schools,  without,  however,  pre- 
cluding its  use  at  a  later  stage.

in  lane,  or  a^  in  fair;  when  final,  or  unaccented,  e  has  the 
sound  of  e  in  hammer. 

2.  t  is  pronounced  more  strongly  and  roughly  than  in 
English. 

3.  b,  at  the  beginning  of  a  syllable,  has  the  sound  of  the 
English  d;  at  the  end  of  a  word,  it  has  the  hard  sound  of  t. 

4.  u  sounds  like  oo  in  roof,  or  like  u  in  pwZZ.

ie 


1.  Of  the  two  forms  f  and  g,  the  long  f  is  used  in  the 
beginning  and  middle  of  words;  the  short  g  only  at  the  end  of 
a  word,  or  part  of  a  word.  Capital  ©,  and  long  j  have  the 
sound  of  z  in  zeal;  short  g  has  the  sharp  sound  of  the  English 
s  in  same;  ff  has  always  the  hissing  sound  of  ss  in  lesson. 

2.  it  is  equivalent  to  long  t,  and  sounds  like  ie  in  field. 

3.  The  German  article  has  three  forms,  ber,  bie,  bag,  the, 
according  to  the  three  genders  of  nouns.  Now,  as  the  gender 
of  nouns  can  only  be  learned  by  long  practice,  it  will  be  of 
great  importance  for  beginners  to  learn,  at  the  outset,  every 
noun  with  its  article.

4. 


o        O 


f  8f 


1.  o  is  pronounced  either  like  o  in  stone,  or  like  o  in  offer. 

2.  f  has  always  the  same  sound  as  in  English. 

3.  In  dividing  simple  words  into  syllables,  mark  the  follow- 
ing rules: 

In  German  there  are  as  many  syllables  in  a  word,  as  there 
are  vowels  or  diphthongs;  thus:  U;ta=nuQ. 

A  single  consonant  between  two  vowels  is  joined  to  the 
latter,  as:  ber  ©a-me,  the  seed. 

Two  different  consonants,  or  the  two  same  consonants 
between  two  vowels,  must  be  separated,  thus:  bte  ©eit-fe,  the 
scythe;  ber  Sftetwter,  the  denominator.

3.  In  German  as  well  as  in  English  words,  the  accent  is 
usually  on  the  radical  syllable  of  the  word ;  words  of  two 
syllables  have,  with  few  exceptions,  the  accent  on  the  first 
syllable,  as:  bit  SBun-be,  the  wound;  baZ  SBaf-fer,  the  water.

1.  dj  never  begins  a  pure  German  word,  but  is  met  with 
in  every  other  part  of  it,  and  its  pronunciation  is  determined 
by  the  letter  which  comes  before  it.  The  sound  of  d)  is  two- 
fold, and  can  only  be  learned  from  the  teacher,  as  the  English 
has  no  such  sounds. 

2.  (f)f  and  dj§  are  pronounced  like  oc  when  f  or  $  belongs 
to  the  radical  syllable. 

3.  When  a  word  is  divided  into  syllables,  d)  is  treated  as 
one  consonant.

21.    ^  dividing  words  into  syllables,  it  maybe  proper  to 
observe  the  following  rules: 

1.  A  single  consonant  between  two  vowels  goes  with  the 
latter.     (See  4.) 

2.  Two  different  consonants,  or  the  two  same  consonants 
between  two  vowels,  must  be  separated.     (See  4.) 

3.  The  compound  consonants  tfj,  $,  dj,  if,  %,  ftj,  §,  ft,  fo 
are  never  parted  in  dividing  the  syllables.  (See  8,  9, 
II,  13,  14,  15.) 

4.  Compound  words  should  be  divided  into  the  simple 
words  which  compose  them.

22i  The  accent  is  on  the  radical  syllable  of  each  word. 
Syllables  added  to  the  beginning  or  end  of  a  word  are  un-

ber; in  compound  adverbs,  however,  the  accent  is  upon  the 
last  syllable.

In  German,  the  pronoun  bit,  thou,  is  used  familiarly 
between  friends,  among  children,  by  teachers  speaking  to 
pupils,  etc.,  in  the  sense  of  you  in  common  life.  In  the  follow- 
ing exercises,  you,  when  corresponding  to  the  German  bit,  is 
marked  thus:  you*.

The  examples  here  given  are  designed  to  furnish  the  pupil 
with  a  ready  method  of  understanding  and  speaking  the 
German  language.  Exercises  of  this  kind  can  not  fail  to  be 
useful,  and  should  be  practiced  as  often  as  time  may  permit, 
or  the  teacher  may  see  proper.

58.  toben,  to  praise. 

id)  lobe,  I  praise  lobe  id)?  do  I  praise? 

bit  lob(e)ft,  (thou  praisest)  Iob(e)ft  bit?  (dost  thou  praise)  ? 

you*  praise  do  you*  praise  ? 

er  (fie,  eS)  Iob(e)t,  he  (she,  it)     lob(e)t  er  (fie,  e§)?  does  he  (she, 

praises  it)  praise? 

tt)ir  loben,  we  praise  loben  loir?  do  we  praise? 

if)r  (ob(e)t,  you  praise  (ob(e)t  tin*?  do  you  praise? 

fie  loben,  they  praise  loben  fie?  do  they  praise? 

<3te  loben,  you  praise  loben  <3ic?  do  you  praise? 

1.  This  is  the  Present  Tense  of  the  verb  (often,  to  praise, 
conjugated  affirmatively  and  interrogatively.  Particular  at- 
tention must  be  paid  to  the  endings  of  the  verb,  printed  here 
in  full-faced  type.  The  e  in  the  endings  eft,  et,  is  generally 
dropped,  as:  id)  lobe,  bit  lobft;  but  it  is  retained  to  avoid  harsh 
and  unpronounceable  terminations,  especially  after  b,  i,  tlj,  f,  3; 
thus:  idj  rebe,  I  speak;  bit  rebeft,  thou  speakest. 

2.  In  German,  as  in  English,  the  Infinitive  is  the  radical  or 
principal  part  of  the  verb:  it  always  ends  in  en.  The  Present 
Tense  is  formed  by  cutting  off  the  n,  and  prefixing  id);  thus, 
loben,  to  praise;  idj  lobe,  I  praise.  To  this  the  only  exception 
is  the  verb  fetn,  to  be,  Present,  id)  bin,  I  am.
